Sticks would be incredibly uncomfortable in that form factor. And why multiple? At most you could fit one on there without removing the speaker. And you'd only need 2 for like... Ape Escape and almost no other games that the system can actually play. It barely looks like an OG Gameboy already at this point. Adding more is gonna make it look like a mess.
If possible, I'd prefer to reconfigure the 2 new front buttons to L2 and R2. The missing analog stick is understandable for such a small vertical orientation device but I'm hoping to see something like a small C stick on N3DS on their next revision.
@@TakiUdon My idea: bring back the days of Gameboy accessories, like the Handy Boy and the Booster. With the USB C connection, it should be a trivial matter to add extra control options. Imagine the C stick addon for the original 3DS? Someone with a 3D printer should be able to whip up a dual stick and add missing buttons. Maybe it shows up as controller 2, but still inputs as player 1 in Retroarch.
@@deusexmachina558 Yeah. With the CM4 there are 32 variations (wifi/no wifi, 4 ram variations, 4 eMMC variations - 2x4x4 = 32). Too many SKUs, plus the chip shortage... There have never been many in stock, and now they're basically unicorns.
For the limiting factors of the case they should have just went with the Pi Zero 2. There is no reason to use the CM4 in this as there are only 2 back buttons. You will not be running PS1, Dreamcast or anything heavier than what a Pi Zero 2 can run due to the lack of buttons. It's 2 steps forward and 1 step back with this.

@@mezzb thank you for this. I’ve been leaning towards a PC driver, but was unsure. I actually have a decent PC sitting and collecting dust and was considering it, but with your recommendation I think I’m going to do it.

Looks great! the dock is a nice option too, shame it has to be reboot to change modes though... Hopefully there's a way to swap themes depending on what mode you have it set to so you could have a minimized handheld theme and a full 16x9 docked them. Would also be nice if we could find a way of playing a different startup video per mode and turn on overlays in docked mode.
@@MegaManNeo I've seen on another review (ETA Prime), that it should suffice to push the sleep button and then connect the device to the dock. No reboot needed. He however did not say, if that also works the other way around.
Why are people always harping about batteries? Do you not know you can buy rechargeable batteries to put in any device that accepts them? It's a lot easier to source and replace bad rechargeable AAs than a lipo pack.
thanks for this super detailed and thorough review! sorry if I missed you mentioning it, but can you connect a controller via bluetooth to play when it's docked, or does it have to be connected by USB into the back of the dock there?
Damn everything. The Pi Zero 2 W finally came back in stock, so I ordered one and the original GPi case, and the very next morning I find out this one’s announced. Unbelievable.
Any bottom side pics of that dock teardown? The top only has a simple USB hub IC and I wonder if there's anything more complicated going on. Though, can't expect much for $10.
Great video, but I believe you didn't elaborate on the dust getting in the screen like you said in 3:29. Did you say OCA? The first GPi Case had it? I don't live in dusty area, but I still don't want to clean the screen every month or so. Have you overexaggerated? Thank you
Both devices don't have an OTA screen. There is not really an easy way for dust to get inside the screen due to how it is housed, but it is possible. This is similar to the original PSP. I had to clean that screen one a year or so when I had an annoying piece of dust that I wanted to remove. I had one piece of dust on this device that I wanted to remove, so I took the time to fully clean it, and I am happy that I did. After two years, my first GPi Case has a bit of dust in it, but I didn't baby the device and took it many places.

Honestly might get this over the analogue pocket for a better deal, decent hardware and the fact that itll be here much sooner then 2023. I’d love a pocket but dang thats such a long wait.
If you don't have game cartridges, an emulation machine will always be the better route. Analogue is amazing, but the wait is not worth it at the time.
Hi Taki, are there some active parts on the backside of the dock pcb? In your video I can spot 4 traces from the USB-C to the HDMI port. I am curious if the board does some HDMI signal processing. The FE1.1s chip is only for the two USB-A ports. Maybe some passive USB-C to HDMI adapter could do the trick.
No, the board is a dummy, there is no active components. In fact compatibility would be horrible, since most dongles work with DisplayPort and actively convert DP to HDMI. This is just straight hardwired.
This looks great but one thing I would have liked to see in the review is boot up time. I e never had a pi based handheld but I can imagine it’s a long wait compared to something dedicated like an RG551 etc
is something like this more powerful or better for emulating than something like the Anbernic 351 devices or the retroid2 etc ? this seems possibly better and with a lot of interesting possibilities (like bluetooth etc) but maybe just needs a little more skill to set up vs the out of the box playability of the anbernics and similar devices?
As someone new to this kind of stuff, I got the same Cm4 that he showed but without the wifi, is there anyway to put the safe shutdown without the wifi connection?

I don't know if i'm doing something wrong every time I put my Sd card on it just stays on the boot menu and said SD card not detected and because of this I return the first one but when I receive the replacement unit i has the same problem so I don't know if I had bad luck and both units are defective or if im doing something wrong because I already did the path and I have tried with different images but it's always the same.

Hey, i bought this case with rpi cm4. Dl recalbox 8 and i have a issue. Sd card not detected. i removed it many times but still not detected. Any idea plz ?
I'm really interested in getting this case out. What specs do you recommend on the CM4 (RAM and eMMC storage)? Hoping to play up to PS1. I now understand Saturn is a bit of a pipe dream.
If you have a Pi 4 that you can use to set up the card that you'll use, I'd go with a 2GB CM4 Lite. If you don't have a Pi 4, I'd get 2GB + Wi-Fi and no eMMC.
I am interested in getting this, but I am new to Pi. When I look for CM4, there are several versions with different amounts of RAM. Do I need a specific amount for this case?
It'll be much faster than the Pi Zero (or Pi Zero W), which can take around a minute to boot (depending on what OS you run, how many games are on it, how fast your microSD card is, if you have WiFi turned on, etc). The Pi Zero 2 with the same OS and games should boot in under 20 seconds. I expect this probably only takes 10-15 seconds. The Pi Zero has a single core clocked about 1GHz, whereas the Pi 4 has 4 cores and can be overclocked to 2Ghz.
@@dividion8102 Pi4(including CM4) has about a 9 second delay before it starts booting. I was told this is due to the DRAM calibration it does on power on and there is no work around. Best boot time I've ever achieved is about 30 seconds.
